The dog musher and vaudevillian piano player may seem an unlikely pair at first, but when the Yukons' Kate Weekes and Grant Simpson strike up a chord with one another, the result is undeniably fun. Simpson’s background in jazz and vaudeville and Weekes’ love of nature, travel and history combine to create tantalizing and sometimes hilarious original ditties. They’re perfectly fit for a night beneath the Yukon moon as the title of their 2011 recording indicates. Kate and Grant’s upbeat shows feature smart lyrics, catchy melodies and arrangements that keep toes tapping! The pair are just this week back from a tour in China, so I'm sure they'll have some great stories to tell.
